Topic: Hash / What!?!? (Read 458 times)
i'm just curious because i'm trying to think outside the box. I'm going to build a rig to mine that should only draw about 40 Watts. Until i build it and get it running i will have no idea what it's hash rate will be. Otheres have probably tried this unsuccessfully and i'm wasting my time and money, but isn't that what hobbies do?
Kill a watt can help track the usage.
Use Killawatt to see what your rig draws and divide khash by that number.

I can't provide you with the precise numbers, but I can say that when I ran a test with a laptop, I was getting 6,200 H/S and the battery was slowly draining even while charging on an 85 Watt power supply. ...so, at least 85 Watt/hours or 262KHWH (kilo-hash-watt-hours)
That sort of shenanigans is likely to burn up an $90 power supply in a few months so that should be factored into your net.

Yes please let me know what is the cost of mining a bitcoin.
I'd like to buy at that price.

everybody posts their Hash/sec numbers. i'd be just as interested in Hash/Watt numbers. the first give you the likelyhood that you'll find something. The second, some of the cost.
